with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication

public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public

Needs and Uses: With this
information collection, NTIA will be
able to monitor the grant recipients’

and Baseline Report.
For the budget submission form,
NTIA intends to use the information
collected (1) to evaluate whether an
applicant is eligible for a grant; (2) to
evaluate applications by peer/expert
reviewers against objective criteria; and
(3) to collect corroborative information,
as applicable, from applicants deemed
highly qualified. NTIA also intends to

grantee’s progress toward completion of
the objectives for which the grant was
made.
Affected Public: Grant award
recipients consisting of for-profit
companies, non-profit companies,
institutions of higher education,
industry groups, and consortia
including two or more such entities.
